Abstract

One of the most striking aspects of the aesthetics of metaphor is the "capability of interpretation" (interpretability). Interpretability is the property by which the reader can participate in completing the meaning and image of the metaphor and, as a result, his cooperation with the author. This feature of metaphor is more evident in texts such as Nahj al-Balagha's sermons, because the first characteristic of the addressed texts is the relationship between the author and the reader. The author, using tools such as metaphor, encourages the reader to aquire knowledge about relevant aspects. Thus, in the process of translating, maintaining aesthetic aspects of the metaphor is a prerequisite for the acceptance of the translation. Accordingly, the present study, relying on a descriptive-analytical method and based on the Newmark seven strategies, examined the translation of the metaphor in the third sermon of Nahj al-Balaghah. Results show that in order to maintain aesthetics based on the metaphor's interpretability, the methods which render methaphorical products are more appropriate. Therefore, we suggest literal translation for a metaphor based on almost common shared impressions and experiences between two languages; Translation into a similar and equal metaphor for culture-based metaphor whose aesthetic scope extend beyond the range of the language-speakers of language of origin; and Translation into similitude for an interpreter who is not able to find or make an equal metaphor. The results of the evaluation of translators'' performance suggest that Mr Garmaroudi is more successful in maintaining the metaphor's interpretability, due to the most appropriate and correct adoption of the first to the third methods of Newmark.
